150w opus, both leds blink once, then 20second pause

**diablo266** · 03-11-2005, 09:15 PM

Hello everyone, i have a 150w opus and its been working fine for over a year, today i took the car comp apart to change cases and now the opus will not power on. When i hook it into a power source both leds on the psu blink once then about 20 seconds later they blink again and it will continue on like that forever. Is the opus dead? I know the fuse is fine i checked it.

One blink every 10sec is a low voltage indication, looks similar.
Have you checked the voltage? How much current are you drawing? What AWG wire are you using?

i'd check if the pins to the motherboard have the correct polarity, i was having 2 flashes then long pause then two flashes

That isn't eaven close to a 20sec pause, plus he's getting a single blink.

What does the manual say? I don't have mine with me now, but I think 2 flashes mean the battery is discharged. Also, on what is the Opus sitting on? Did you try to run it when it wasn't mounted in a case? What case do you have? Any pics?

you replied talking about a 10 second pause.....my "long pause" is ten seconds.....my response is just as valid as yours.....

Oh you get 1 flash. My bad.
Ok, here's what the manual sais about 1 flash:
Battery voltage is below normal operating range.
The normal range is 10.6 VDC to 18 VDC.
During engine cranking the low battery voltage detection is ignored so the battery can dip below 10.6.
I'd recommend to eliminate all the consumers one at a time and see how that works.
